Igor Sheshterkin denied 40 of 43 shots. The Flyers went 2-for-3 on the power play, but also allowed the Buchnevich shorthanded goal. The PK, which had been a little better of late, suffered a 2-for-5 night. A left winger in the two previous games he played with the NHL club this season, Morin returned to defense recently.
On this night, he was paired with Shayne Gostisbehere. Philadelphia also tweaked all four forward combinations, most notably via the creation of line with Hayes centering Giroux and Joel Farabee.
Travis Konecny was on right with Couturier and James van Riemsdyk. Scott Laughton went back to center and was reunited with Michael Raffl on left wing and Nicolas Aube-Kubel and the right. The last thing the Flyers could afford to do after loose defense cost them the first goal of the game was to quickly give up another one. A mere seconds after Strome opened the scoring, a 2-on-1 hookup between Chris Kreider and Buchnevich gave the Flyers a two-goal deficit.
That set the tone for the parade of Rangers goals that followed in building a cushion. By the time the game was 14 minutes along, Strome 1g, 1a , Zibanejad 1g, 1a , and Adam Fox 2a already had multi-point nights. It would get worse. On the Strome goal. The Flyers froze as Panarin showed shot and then threaded a pass through the stick of Ivan Provorov, beyond Jakub Voracek on one knee and to the wide-open Strome for a tap-in from the doorstep. The Buchnevich goal scored 52 seconds later came on a 2-on-1 rush for the Rangers.
The Flyers underwent some major offseason changes, specifically with their group of blueliners. Ryan Ellis and Rasmus Ristolainen headline this new wave of defenseman in Philadelphia.
The Rangers will need to bring their A game if they want to earn two points in yet another crucial divisional battle. After entering a training camp on what appeared to be his last lifeline in the NHL, Gauthier has began to turn his career around.

His first goal came during the opening period off a feed from Ratcliffe.
His second goal was off a feed from Frost near the end of the second period and it turned out to be the game-winner. Egor Zamula, one of the Flyers' top defensive prospects, quarterbacked the top power play unit and was good at 5-on Wyatte Wylie and Mason Millman had blocked shots.
Ethan Samson either scored or assisted the fifth goal on his shot in the third period. Nolan Ritchie may have deflected it. In net, starter Kirill Ustimenko allowed two goals and Samuel Ersson surrendered the third. Ersson is expected to start Sunday's game. Cam York and Tanner Laczynski, two of the top prospects in rookie camp who made their NHL debuts last season, did not suit up but are expected to play Sunday.
If Wade Allison doesn't play Sunday, he certainly left his mark Saturday. Rangers at FlyersSkateZone.
